《Smile, Hero》A Break In
Advertisement
From Japan's POV
He was dying.
America, one of my best friends, one of my most trusted ally was dying because of us. I had never really insulted him, but I never tried to stop it either. What kind of friend was I?
All I heard was silence through the door. No sound at all. Oh no!
I screamed in fear, launching my body at the bathroom door.
He couldn't die!
Germany POV
I had never seen America so down. I had never heard him so weak. I could never get over that look of hurt in the kitchen.
America wasn't suppose to be sad. Our America was suppose to be bright. He was suppose to be happy. Not a broken crying mess.
He was wearing a fake smile. A mask. All this time and I couldn't notice.
I always prided myself on being perceptive. But. If I couldn't see how America was breaking under our hands, how could he be saved now?
No one could see past his mask.
He was dying.
Seeing Japan pounding against the door was frightening too. He was usually so calm. So proper. To see him a sobbing screaming mess by the door for America was terrifying. America must have been in a horrible state.
I needed to se what was happening.
I pushed Japan out of the way and punched a hole right above the door handle.
We would be America's hero's.
Italy POV
I saw Germany punch a hole through the door. Oh how I wished America would be alright.
He was the only one who would ever take me seriously. He joined in on my love of food, and made me feel included. I don't know what I would have done without him.
He was dying.
I didn't want another loved one to leave me! America couldn't leave. He couldn't die. I don't think I could handle it.

I reached in the hole Germany just made, and unlocked the door from the inside. It swung open. And the sight inside was terrifying.
Hah. You thought I'd leave you there?
Third person POV
America was lying in a bathtub filled with his own blood. Nations were stronger than humans, but Alfred surviving that much blood loss was nearly impossible.
America was limp. He was like a husk of his former self. The scars, blood, and cuts on his arm made it much clearer on how much he was really hurting.
His hair was brittle and lifeless, even his cowlick drooping.
Italy yelped.
Germany dashed forward, picking the American up. He was surprisingly light, and the bulk of him only came from his clothes.
Japan lay outside the door, mumbling prayers and crying for his friend.
"Oh please be okay Alfred. Please be okay."
The rush to the hospital was the most frightening experience in their lives.
———————————————————————————- ok I know it was short. I just wanted you to get a peek at what was happening from people other than America 😊

Adventures of the Goldthirst Company
Get the quest, kill the monsters, grab the loot, don't die. How hard can adventuring be? When the party is a fashionista wizard who'd rather stare at her reflection than dirty herself with actual combat, a thief that picks locks by ripping them apart, a paladin trying to do the right thing, and an archer that's better at talking to plants than people, then even a simple quest can prove a challenge. Hired for a variety of tasks, from retreiving the legendary Dragon's Veil to bodyguarding the wealthy, thwarting apocalyptic prophecies, or uncovering not-so-abandoned elven ruins, the problems in their way may well prove their undoing; lonesome medusas, sticky-fingered psychopomps, agressively passive golems and fearsomely violent geography stand in their way, as well as the minor issue of simply not actually trusting, or even liking, each other! Releases twice weekly, generally Tuesday and Friday (Art by Sin Soppitt)

Heroes Die First
It was after World War Two ended; rumors spread of people wielding amazing powers or mutating into horrifying monsters. Seventy years later, heroes and villains dominate the news and battle in the streets, discrimination drives mutants into the criminal lifestyle, and the governments of the world are struggling to handle the rapidly shifting paradigm. Maxmillian Grants, like any sixteen year old boy, wants to be a hero and he has a secret: he has the power to do it! Except, when he actually looks into the risks and the rewards he discovers that being a hero is not really worth it. Being a villain, on the other hand, certainly pays well. If you don't mind risking being sent to prison and being hunted by heroes and other villains. Max, not being an idiot, does mind both of those things. Instead of being a hero or being a villain, Max decides to take the third option, to be a vigilante! His plan? To hit the criminals in the gut and run off with their money, making the world a bit brighter at the same time by taking down the bad guys. But how long can he actually manage alone? Can he really navigate through the dangerous world of supers and capes without declaring for either heroes or villains? Or will he be sucked into the web of plots and drama that is the life of those with superpowers? (Cover photo by Sebastiaan Stam, downloaded from Unsplash)
